All day Saturday the
Seers and Weather Prophets
were asserting their wisdom and prognosti-

long term Of years and were certain Saturday
forenoon that it would rise from four
to six feet. 1t always continued to gain for
twenty-four hours after a rain. Property
owners along the river front watched the
weather with anxious visages and sighed for
a northwest ~iud and clear sky to reduce the
great flood of water coming down. As the

The Total Damage

bv the food on the kennebec Is estimated at
375, O00, including the many logs lost and lum-
Der fioated off. The removal of the logs
from the lodging places where they have been
carried BY the flood will be accompanied by
a large additional cost. Business in factor
les and mills has been necessarily suspended
for several days. Many bridges and booms
were injured or carried away while sundry
goods and property stored within reach of
the water have been damaged.
The loss to the lumbermen will by no
means be uncomfortable. The two million
feet of logs which went adrift from the Som
erset boom belonged to Lawrence & Phillips,
and their loss on them will be heavy
as they can recover by few of them. Some
six million logs which had been landed at
Carrying Place iosted down and jammed at
Carratunk. These we're the property of
Haselton of Skswhegan, Townsend Abbott,
Henry ogg and others. The jam broke and
the logs went down, many of course lodged
in the coves and low lands but no small mum
Der will be lost.
Mr.. S. S. Brooks says the freshet damaged
him 500 worth.
The water backed up from the river into
the cutters on Bond street.
There was an absence of drift wood, logs
and refuse in the river yesterday.

1t is clearly seen that the convention is
shaping its proceedings in line with the
position THE GAZETTE has taken and it
has placed itself on record as a strictly
nOn-religlOus, nOn-pOlitiCal, n0n-seC-
tartan body. There are many preachers
mere, but they are men of judgment
and are unequiV0CRl in their statements
that this is not religious crusade. Men
who have no connection with the church,
but who ere in favor of prohibition, are
much gratitied at the very sensible pO-
sitiOn inst has been Oy common consent
taken on this phase of the question. 1t

names the reporter could not learn, are
members of the convention.
1t is a fine looking body of men, &rd
there is g cast to it that is enough to
cause the liquor interests to tTemble.
They are earnest, honest, brave and
aggressive men.

Nine out of every ten fires are caused by

burning Of the SCOT and away goes your

venting this. Oae is TO have the fue
built so that it viii not set the house on
fire, and the other is to use fuel that will
not collect SCOT and thereby set your
